Morrissey is only a couple of dates into his current North American tour, and there's already been plenty of drama surrounding the trek. At opening night in San Jose, he had to cut his show off early after fans mobbed him onstage. And before last night's show at the Observatory in Orange County, he… More »

Veteran pop-rockers We Are Scientists have a new album out called TV En Français. In keeping with that title, they've made a video for single "Sprinkles" that features the band traipsing around Europe playing rock shows and having the time of their lives.

By Amrit Singh & Brandon Stosuy Our trek into Indio went so smoothly this year that we've both become paranoid about something going incredibly wrong at any moment, but so far we've made it through without broken bones or spirits. In fact, even though the day started with extreme lines and heat, once we passed… More »

We Are Scientists continue having a thing for animalistic videos and for being better on camera than in song with "Impatience." Actually and as prematurely mentioned, "Impatience" is one of Brain Thrust Mastery's standouts, and although nothing compares with "After Hours" on that LP, the video eventually brings a smile via Chri… More »

We'll take the outdated Seinfeldian angle on this one: "What is the deal with We Are Scientists obsession with dogs in videos?" Haha we were so funny in the '90s. No seriously though, what's the deal with the dogs? It made sense in "After Hours" for the "Chris's blind date is a real 'bitch'"… More »

The Brooklyn duo We Are Scientists are a pretty good singles band. And we enjoy their humor -- whether in little skits or Nickelback covers. Thing is, they generally put out a good single or two, and then rely on their charm, humor, Keith's dreamy smile, etc. All of which they have… More »

It would appear Keith and Chris made up after that unfortunate "After Hours" double date. Don't believe us? Just look at them go on the Brain Thrust Mastery tune, "Impatience." The Brooklyn boys sound great on Jools Holland. Maybe it's the new drummer? Who knows, but they offer an especially triumphant take on the… More »

The inequality of gift giving is a universal: You purchase your friend the best thing in the world and they hook you up with an expired McDonald's coupon. Or whatever.

The genuinely nice guys in We Are Scientists played the Sheffield Octagon Saturday night, and even did a Boyz II Men cover. Looks like it was a lot of fun! One audience member, however, lost some respect for bassist Chris Cain after failing to receive his autograph after the set. Under the name… More »

As long as we're doing videos for Stereogum favorites, we can't not give a shoutout to We Are Scientists, who, in addition to being on Letterman tonight (see previous post) are playing Spin's Year in Music party. If you, like me, couldn't make it tonight, and you, like Leno, won't be watching the… More »
